Chas Arnold

I am a lifelong avid Michigan hunter and fisherman. Since retiring from ATT after 41 years I've been able to increase my time on the water and in the woods. My wife of 47 years loves the time we spend up north at our cabin in the woods, as she is a fantastic wildlife photographer. We have one daughter who is successful in her own rite living in New York. I’ve served as the Secretary on the SCI Detroit Chapter Board of Directors for the past several years. I’ve also been given the esteemed honor to chair the Humanitarian position as a board member. I am a Vietnam era veteran and support our local servicemen and women.
I am passionate with my woodworking hobby and have been able to reconstruct almost every room in our home - and especially proud of our custom-crafted kitchen. I love helping people, am devoted to family, and cherish my church.

Ray Hollingsworth,

I have been a board member and an SCI member since 1995, past president of Detroit SCI, and current treasurer.

 

As a lifelong hunter from a child to the present day, I still love sitting in the woods on those autumn days. I am proud of the work the chapter has done in supporting hunting advocacy, habitat, education, veterans, scholarships, and more. In today’s environment it is hard to find people to stand
up, take responsibility and fight for what they enjoy in life, giving back!


I am running for what is going on my 10th term and look forward for your support.
